Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Mental health treatment center in Downtown Toronto, Canada
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is a hospital and research center in Toronto with multiple buildings and departments devoted to mental health and addiction treatment. The facility combines direct patient care with scientific work and operates in close partnership with the University of Toronto.
The facility was formed in 1998 when several older hospitals and organizations merged under a new name. Since then it has become Canada's largest teaching center for mental health and the leading research partner for addiction and mental health.
The facility works to open conversations about mental health in the city and helps break down old stigmas around seeking care. Visitors notice how different departments collaborate to offer people more complete support.
People seeking help should speak with their doctor or contact Access CAMH directly to learn what treatment options are available. The facility has several locations across the city, so it helps to find out which office suits your needs beforehand.
The facility regularly publishes extensive research results and teaching materials used around the world to develop new treatment methods. These publications make it a source of new insights not just for local patients, but for the entire field.
